Mary Chapin Carpenter, Moss, Moore, Rutter, Moulettes, The Young'Uns, Blair Dunlop, Jess Morgan, Gnoss, and London Youth Folk Ensemble are the latest acts announced for this summer's one day Folk by the Oak festival for 5,000, now in its eighth year, and set in the grounds of Hatfield House in Hertfordshire happening on Sunday 19th July 2015.

The first acts confirmed were Bellowhead, The Unthanks, Nancy Kerr, Keston Cobblers Club, and Lady Maisery.

Event Manager Adam said, "Folk by the Oak is proud to be one of those special festivals that remains small enough to be easy and accessible with a compact and leafy site, yet large enough to bring some of the best folk acts together for a truly uplifting summers day out."
